County-USC Medical Center, which suffered extensive structural damages from the 1994 Northridge earthquake, will finally undergo replacement or repairs to the damaged facilities. The restorations are prompted by news that the Federal Emergency Management Agency offered $410 million to repair the damages in early March, said Los Angeles County officials.

Journalism department ranks at top
By Dae Kim and Nate Akiva
Staff Writers
U.S. News and World Report recently released its 1996 edition of the annual guide to America's best graduate schools, which listed many USC programs among the top in the nation.
USC's Radio/Television department, a division of the School of Journalism, achieved USC's highest ranking at No. 11, followed by the law school, which placed 15th.Other schools which ranked in the top 30 in the country included: engineering, 11th, business, 26, and education, 27th.
Sherrie Mazingo, an associate professor and chair of Broadcast Sequence at the School of Journalism, said that although being placed among the top in the country was an honor, the rankings did not accurately reflect the strength of the USC graduate programs.
"We should have been higher," Mazingo said. "We belong in the top five in the nation...but considering the number of broadcast journalism programs in the coun-
try, this is still a very high honor.''
Mazingo said there are several possible biases which could undermine the accuracy of the rankings, including the tendency for respondents of the survey questionnaires to name their own schools as being among the

best in the nation. This, she said, is a regionalism factor that leads deans and media professionals on the East Coast to think of schools in their area first. As a faculty member from the School of Journalism, Mazingo said there was a low response rate for journalism schools in general because they were ranked for the first time.
She also said the influence of strong
undergraduate programs in a particular school can raise tne reputation of the graduate programs within the same institution.
Guilbert Hentschke, dean of the School of Education, thought USC's graduate program in education had also not been ranked as high as it deserved.
According to Hentschke, there are several factors which serve to handicap USC in the annual ranking, such as the pre-professional nature of the university, which leads academics to rank USC programs lower than professionals, as well as tne large body of international students.
"All USC (graduate) schools are growing more internationally," he said. "They can't be compared (to other schools)."
As vice chair of the National Accrediting Committee on Journalism and Mass Communications, Mazingo said she has an inside view of many of the schools that made the journalism school rankings.
She gave several examples of graduate schools whose rankings she considered high-

Students gain experience on the runway
Students model in on-campus fashion show last weekend

The Epicurean Modeling Troupe held its first annual fashion show, entitled "A Rhapsody of Colour," in Bovard Auditorium Sunday to allow USC students an insight into the process of performing in a professional fashion show, said Tmupe President Willie Mack Daniels.
The Epicurean Modeling Troupe was created for and by USC students who are interested in fashion and want to gain experience on the runway, Daniels said.
The models involved in the fashion show were discovered after they responded to fliers posted around campus. Potential participants then filled
out applications that requested information such as modeling history, future career goals, aspirations and measurements.
The 10 USC students selected spent two months on the runway learning walk and attitude, Daniels said.
Through word of mouth, designers requested to be involved in the fashion show, Daniels said. Also, the Fashion Institute of Design (FIDM) held its own fashion show from which several designers were chosen. Out of the eight designers chosen, three signed on to participate in "A Rhapsody of Colour."
Professional makeup artists, hairstylists and photographers also donated their time and accessories, Daniels said.
Ferrari Farris, a hostess from "The Price is Right," was the commentator at the event.
